Busy Busy Busy !!!

Well it's been a while, In fact I've been meeting my self coming backwards some days . I've been getting all my sewing done ready for Easter , as well as working and dealing with poorly children ( my youngest is on his second bout of illness in a week and a half ). Oh and a craft stall , at a school event today . Goodness me I'm quite worn out , I'm just so thankful that we break up for Easter on Wednesday . But I would like to share with you my Easter makes .

Why thank you ,I have really enjoyed doing my Easter makes and playing with colours and fabric combinations . The Easter Hares are proving popular and I sold my first Bunny pocket today . Thanks for popping by and enjoy the rest of your weekend, Tracy x .

Hi Colette , Sorry but the spotty blue legs Hare went a week ago . One of my Monday evening crochet friends snapped her up before she was finished. I'm thinking I might try and get another batch done over the coming weeks and see if I can get something set up on Folksy or Etsy .All I can say at the moment is watch this space.Have a wonderful Easter , kind regards Tracy .

Hi Tracy, I just want to encourage you ..... I think your makes are just fantastic .... the hares are really unusual - I haven't seen any around Blogland quite like them, I love their crochet jumpers .... Hares are really jumpers aren't they! Also your peg idea, what a wonderful way to brighten up a washing day line :0)I have loved visiting you and have saved you to my blog roll, you are a very inspiring blogger :0) ..... I am Yorkshire too, though live in the South for now, but a long time ago I was born and bred in a coal mining village ..... you can tell I am old - the pits have long since gone.Have a lovely crafty and inspiring Spring time ....best wishes Val xx

Hi Val , thanks for popping by and thankyou very much for your words of encouragement .I am at present working on biulding up a range of products to sell on etsy or folksy ,in the not too distant future.Have a wonderful Easter !! Kind regards Tracy xx

Hi, all your makings are gorgeous,especially the hares (I love hares) you are very talented. I was just wondering if you ever sold your lovely things (I am thinking hares again!) because I would be first in the queue and I bet I wouldn't be the only one!! Have a fab easter break.Debby.x

Hi Debby , Thank you ever so much for your wonderful comments. I am hopefully, in the not too distant future going to open a shop on Folksy or Etsy , as soon as I have enough stock made to put in it !.Thanks for visiting me and have a happy Easter break Tracy .

Hi Rach , I'm glad you like the rabbits/hares , I don't charge enough for my hares ,as it's normally friends that buy them and I always feel guilty asking them for money.They are made from Russian linen and I like to give them Liberty lawn trousres and bags . The jumpers are normally made from designer wool such as 'Rowan'.I always like to use good quality fabrics and yarns and for this reason I should sell the rabbits/hares for about £20.I hope this answers your question and have a wonderful Easter .Kind regards Tracy xx

Seeeeeeee, I told you so. You should definitely take the plunge and open that shop tracy, you have such original ideas and such a beautiful sense of design, not to mention your awesome and slightly scary talent for stitching lol! Your hares are so lovable, not just for easter, same with the angels, I would love a year round GoodWishes angel with a bit of liberty lawn and maybe a wee heart garland......lavender bags, and those dotty pegs,icould keep you in business single handed!!!!! Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hello lovely lady ,you are sooooo kind .You know I have reached a cross roads with things and I can feel a decision coming very soon where work is concerned .Yes I understand you liked a particular bunch of pegs , I will do you some over the holidays and yes I think both yourself and another lovely lady need a Good Wish angel in your lovely homes.You know I don't need much of a reason to get the Liberty Lawn out to use !!!!Lots of love Tracy xx

Hi Cate ,I'm so happy to see all these new visitors thanks to the lovely lady at Attic 24 .With regards to my Hares ,the first batch I made have all gone. But because of the wonderfully encouraging comments I'm getting I'm going to do another batch to put on Folksy or etsy . So please watch this space !! Have a fab Easter with kind regards Tracy x

I'm new to your blog and what a joy to find! Your hares and pillows are absolutely ADORABLE!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE open an Etsy shop as I too want to buy your crafts. HAPPY EASTER, and I am keeping my fingers cross that by next Easter one of those hares will have hopped herself right over to my house. :-) Liz B.

Thanks for visiting and thank you very much for your wonderful compliments.A shop will happen this year so I think there's a very good chance that by next Easter a Hare will have hopped over and taken up residence in your home !!So have a very Happy Easter with kind regards Tracy xx

Hello! I'm new to your blog and came over from Attic 24....love her blog! I would like to find out if your sell your rabbits. If so, how much do they cost? I live in the United States and understanding mailing will be a bit more than mailing within England. Please let me know. Thanks. Linn linn62@sbcglobal.net

Hi Linn , I too love Lucys blog she has such a talent for crochet and crafting and her use of colour is outstanding.A shop is coming later on this year once I have enough things made .As soon as I'm ready to launch I will give you advanced notice of the date . But for now thanks for visiting and have a Happy Easter over in the United States.Kind regards Tracy xx

Hi Tracy, I followed the link from Attic 24 and have added myself as a follower and put you on my sidebar as I love what you are doing. Your work is so beautiful and I know I am going to enjoy coming back many times to see what you get up to. No pressure!Best WishesShirley.

Hi Tracey, Like Shirley, I followed the link from Lucy at Attic 24 and have now fallen madly in love with your work. I will be reading your blog daily to see what is going on with you AND to see if Lucy has successfully convinced you to open an Etsy shop. Your work is just amazing. Unlike Shirley, I WILL be pressuring you to sell you creations. Lol. Hopefully, the germs are out of your home and everyone if feeling better. Have fun with the craft stall. I am sure when you have sold EVERYTHING, you will realize that Esty is in your future.Happy Easter, barb

Hi barb,thanks for visiting me and leaving such compliments, a shop is in my future plans !! I've so many ideas for makes ,and I would love to share them anyone who's interested enough to take a peek ! .Have a Happy Easter with kind regards Tracyx

Hi Tracy, me again. I can pressure you into an etsy shop if you want me too. I would love one of your Hares so come on what are you waiting for. Get stitching. Love Attic24 and I can see that you will be up there with the list of favourites. Happy Easter to you too. Shirley.

I am stumbling into this Beautiful Hare party a little late but I wanted to congratulate you on all the hard work you have put into each one of these longeared delights. Such joy to be found on this blog!

Good luck with all your future stitching and your new shop which will be a tremendous success.
